Profile Information

Gary Wayne Clark is an Author, Grammy® Recording Academy Member and Poet that writes and records under the name Gary Wayne Clark, Gary Clark, and the band Earamas® & Earamas™.

Ethereal and surreal, his latest release, River of Lost Souls is a haunting paramour’s dreamscape of evanescent textures, awakening the sentries of the heart with mystical Native American poetry interwoven among flutes, drums and neo-psychedelic guitar riffs that echo through the canyons of the mind like lost voices from another world -- Heetíh-néé'eesoo-'.

Inspired by Clark's Amazon Top Selling western horror mystery novel “Dead Balance”, the music and lyrics of "River of Lost Souls" continues a spiritual journey that began with “Logan’s Lament” and “In My Dream” into a surreal shadow world where Grammys® Recording Academy Artist Gary Wayne Clark (Earamas®; Rise of the Chimera & Passage to Niburu) weaves his musical vision quest.

The Ancient Ones believe that based on our deeds in this world, some spirits are imprisoned in a purgatory like existence of multiple dimensions, side by side, within multiple worlds. When loved ones seeking atonement are taken too soon from this world and forced to cross over, part of their penitence leaves them trapped between worlds, desperately clinging to soul mates left behind. As their song of lover’s lament attempts to hold back the wheel of time, their eternal bond lingers in the ether of fleeting desperation. For now, they are but Wind Talkers, grasping for each other in the mist of dreams and those ephemeral moments the between the shadow and the light, between the iridescent hues of twilight and dawn.

As Native American proverbs teach us, “Day and night can’t live together,” and “There can be no rainbow without our tears.” True, but I choose to believe that for some of us, “Dreams are the truth, until we awaken.” And as Henry David Thoreau opined, “Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake.”
